THE CONTINENT AT LARGE.

AN FL Paso (Texas) dispatch says that while
a Mexican Central express train was running
at full speed near Laredo, Mexico, two shots
whizzed into one Of the windows of a car, one
barely missing the head Of the conductor. A
little distance ahead of the point where
the shots were fired several ties were
found piled on the track at a bridge. 1t
was evidently the intention of the train
wreckers to kill the engineer and fireman and
let the train dash at full speed against the
obstruction The way the Mexican Govern
ment meets such villainy is novel but effect
i've. All the residents of the neighbourhood
are rounded up" and confession extracted
from them as to the names of the robbers.
The guilty are then stood up in line against
